Clinton found a similar experience in a more open, musical setting -- the Pentecostal revival meetings held once every summer in Redfield, Arkansas, where about 2,000 worshippers commune with God by singing, clapping and speaking in tongues. His relationship with the state's Pentecostal community had its political uses: several Pentecostal pastors served as conduits between him and the religious right on issues like the state regulation of church- based schools and day-care centers. But what began as a political stopover in Redfield in the late '70s also became a different kind of pilgrimage. Vaught would often voice...
...meantime, Dr. Robert Redfield of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Washington and his colleagues are trying to develop a vaccine that helps people who are already infected. By injecting a slightly modified form of the virus' protein coat, the Army researchers hope to kick-start the patients' immune systems into mounting an effective counterattack. Redfield thinks that his version of the viral coat may share enough characteristics with all the known mutant strains of HIV to overcome the variability problem. Said Redfield, a rare, unabashed optimist at the Amsterdam meeting: "I believe HIV is very simple, very...
...never helps a single person with full-fledged AIDS, the Walter Reed team has sketched out a blueprint for a potential new weapon against the disease. "This is the first time anyone has proved that you can change the immune system in a chronically infected person," says Dr. Robert Redfield, research-group leader. "Now we have to find out whether or not this makes a difference...
...radar screen. As a result, the body may not manufacture all the different kinds of antibodies that could attack the virus. "We thought that if we could make the virus in a slightly different way, the immune system could see it better and mount a more effective response," Redfield says. "In other words, we'd be augmenting Mother Nature's own strategy...
...From a conceptual standpoint, the study is quite interesting," says Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. But he cautions that any dangerous side effects from the vaccine could take years to show up. Even so, the preliminary effects were intriguing enough that Redfield has begun a second trial -- with results expected in 18 months -- to see if the vaccine can produce long-lasting benefits...
